Subject: [PATCH v2] arch/powerpc: Remove unnecessary endian conversion code in XICS
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2023 17:25:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230731115543.36991-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Remove an unnecessary piece of code that does an endianness conversion but
does not use the result. The following warning was reported by Clang's
static analyzer:
arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/ics-opal.c:114:2: warning: Value stored to
'server' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
server = be16_to_cpu(oserver);
'server' was used as a parameter to opal_get_xive() in commit
5c7c1e9444d8 ("powerpc/powernv: Add OPAL ICS backend") when it was
introduced. 'server' was also used in an error message for the call to
opal_get_xive().
'server' was always later set by a call to ics_opal_mangle_server()
before being used.
Commit bf8e0f891a32 ("powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues in OPAL ICS
backend") used a new variable 'oserver' as the parameter to
opal_get_xive() instead of 'server' for endian correctness. It also
removed 'server' from the error message for the call to opal_get_xive().
Fix the warning by removing the server variable assignment.
Fixes: bf8e0f891a32 ("powerpc/powernv: Fix endian issues in OPAL ICS backend")
